Luciano Spalletti has stepped down as manager of Roma after guiding the club to a second place finish in Serie A.

Roma won more points during the 16-17 season than in any previous one in club history.

“We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Luciano Spalletti for all of his hard work and the significant contribution he has made to the club since his return,” said the Roma president, James Pallotta, in a statement on the club’s website.

Spalletti has been linked with the Inter Milan job.
